Consider how long it took for Obama to push through Obamacare. It would take a whole lot longer than that to create a federal police force, not to mention the resistance would be a whole lot stiffer.
Every so often, I heart talk of various big city police departments "merging and going metro" with their surrounding county sheriff's department. However, it almost always fails because the issue of power comes up. The mayor/city commissioners don't want to surrender control of their municipal PD to a county sheriff. Also, there's the issue of paying for it. People in the big cities are concerned the police they pay for will be re-allocated to the suburbs. People in the county don't want to be paying for cops to patrol the ghetto. It would be like this on a grand scale. If you think police departments now have a problem with hiring undesirables, I can only imagine what a completely Federalized police force would look like. |

Look, I know that this whole evil govt thing you have going is central to your world view, but you are making yourself look like a loon. BTW> Feds would be a step down in pay and bennies. Quite a bit for some of us. Okay, fine I'm a loon. 
"Big fed raid" aside, I don't think there are many departments in the US that could operate without the resource assistance and exemptions from federal law (i.e. NFA/GCA) given by the feds. I'm sure there are some. Again, after 9/11, the feds completely took over (and goat-fucked) the entire airport security industry in less than a year. To think that given the right impetus they couldn't take over a police department or two just doesn't make sense. States explicitly have the rights to dictate police and fire. . . just how it works. And I'm guessing [b]if the states started to pay a fraction of what they provide to the feds (some of them not all) they'd have ample monies left over to provide their police with funding. The feds won't be having a hostile takeover of local police departments.[/b[ THIS. The Feds take over easily by threatening legal actions plus funding cutoff and the local governments fold.

What makes anyone think the actual law to federalize all police departments are going to be read by any of our lawmakers before they vote on it?
They sort of have a history of needing to vote for it before they bother reading it. |

Feds can pretty much de facto shut down any agency they want. If they can shut it down, they could take it over. Sure a lot of cops would jump ship, but what would the feds care? Plenty of people waiting to take those jobs, and if some people get hurt and shit gets burned down in the process, that's just going to make people want cops that much more.  The feds can't shut down local LE. The feds have no constitutional authority to enforce state law. Where they have any authority to enforce state law, it is created and can be eliminated by state law. There are no federal laws covering most street crime (most robberies, rapes, murders, DUIs, vehicular homicides, burglaries, thefts, et c. et c.) If by some wizardry the feds managed to shut down a local LEA, LE authority would devolve to the state police, National Guard, and militia. You really think that our illustrious leader really cares what he can or can not do legally or illegally, Constitutionally or unConstitutionally? Do you really think Lynch cares about such things? the democrat party cares? or any of the assholes that vote for Zero and his minions? What laws are they going to enforce if there ends up being a National Police Force? presidential edicts.............presidential executive orders............. Ok you got me.

Even more problematic though is the whole concept of the county Sheriff being the highest LEO in their county. Cleveland seems to have solved that by going to an appointed not elected Sheriff. In most of the rest of the country, the Sheriff is elected by popular vote. If you don't like the service you are getting, the voters can change it every 4 years. Seems to have worked out quite well for a very long time. Now, even with the previously mentioned appointed Sheriff, there is no serious talk of Cuyahoga county going to a metro police any time soon. |

At a City Council meeting Wednesday, Batts said officers have expressed concern they could be arrested for making mistakes. "What is happening, there is a lot of levels of confusion in the police organization. There are people who have pain, there are people who are hurt, there are people who are frustrated, there are people who are angry," Batts said. "There are people, and they've said this to me, 'If I get out of my car and make a stop for a reasonable suspicion that leads to probable cause but I make a mistake on it, will I be arrested?' They pull up to a scene and another officer has done something that they don't know, it may be illegal, will they be arrested for it?

Sales are next to nothing': Merchants worry crime crisis could cast pall over Baltimore downtown
BALTIMORE – An epidemic of murder that has gripped Baltimore in the month following the Freddie Gray riots is threatening to undo decades of rebirth in the city's popular downtown -- and in the process, wipe away tens of millions of tourist dollars.
“Sales are next to nothing,” said Kenneth Robinson, manager of the Fudgery, an iconic candy store tucked in the heart of the Inner Harbor. Local merchants were just starting to see business bounce back after last month's riots. But a crime crisis has since gripped Baltimore, with police saying criminals have taken advantage of the situation to wreak havoc on Charm City. ... |

Police.... The most needed, yet unwanted group of people ever. I also find it funny that the same people who despise the police are always the first to call when something happens.
I can't say I blame the police for being not being proactive and patrolling the streets. Sure call them and they will come. There is a burglary trend in a certain area..... Well, no we can't step up patrols there! Your mayor and solicitor considers patrolling 'oppression' so good luck call using something happens. |

DOJ threatens, then offers a deal where DOJ takes over leadership in the PD and the city signs the consent decree that gives up local control to the Feds. Cleveland is the most recent example, following Ferguson and St Louis, and Baltimore will be the next. Clueless. True, but even normally smart people really do not understand how any of this works. They really think that the Feds pump serious amounts of money into local police agencies and really do think that consent decrees give them the final say over every aspect of agency operations. They picture in their minds that somehow the loss of this funding would be devastating, and somehow that rules designed to reduce identified problems translate into the AG, therefore the President, taking personal command of local agencies. Newsflash, nearly every agency could survive without federal support. Local politicians are far too protective of their own sandbox to cede power to Washington. They would much rather lose the couple of guys funded under grant money, than let someone else piss in their cheerios. Then what's the endgame here? What's the point? Just like the Armed Forces, to get LE agencies to knuckle under & bow down to the national leadership...one more threat to the national agenda removed. It's all part of the strategy. |

I feel bad for the Baltimore cops; they're going to be blamed regardless of any outcome, as is happening now. Blamed for causing this mess, blamed for allowing it to continue, and so on. It's Lose-Lose for them, doesn't matter what they do. Even if they start video-recording every instance where they are immediately surrounded by locals & their safety threatened, the officers will still be blamed and assumed in the wrong. I hope the FOP & other organizations are working overtime to help in the defense of the 6 indicted officers, as well as dig up dirt on the mayor & so-called state's attorney mosby (non-caps intentional). I'd love to see those two crooks end up in handcuffs & charged with corruption & anything else that can be found. But it's pretty obvious that what has happened since the riots started is pretty much as the new national AG loretta lynch wanted it to play out.... |

Smile and wave boys... smile and wave... Fuck yeah. Looks like racist cops are being racist by leaving black folks alone though. Maybe ED209 is what Baltimore needs.
